How to Make Lychee Ice Cream

  1. Drain one 15-ounce can of lychees, reserving the syrup.
  2. Coarsely chop the lychees. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped lychees, reserved syrup (about 1/2 cup), 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 20-30 minutes).
  5. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
